The 2021 MLB Pro Rule 5 Draft will take place on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8TH IN SLACK.
Have your 40-man rosters to your liking at sim time on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1ST.
Following the sim on the 1st, each team’s 40-man roster number will be tracked and recorded. If you have 39 at that point, even if you were to waive/DFA multiple players that week, you will only be able to select a maximum of 1 player in the Rule 5 draft.
If a player is waived during that week…
—-If they are claimed, the new team can add them to the 40-man roster (must have a spot for them).
—-If they go unclaimed, they REMAIN Rule 5 eligible AND will not come with the full-season roster requirements for the new team.
If a player is signed as a free-agent, they will be added to the 40-man roster during that week.
No trades will be processed from that Friday until the Rule 5 draft is completed.
To simplify who is and is not eligible for the draft, we will return to the following simplified rules:
- If a player is listed in-game as eligible and…
- They are at least 22 year of age or older (As of 12/1).
- They were not recently signed as a FA and have yet to be added to the 40-man roster, this should be obvious for all to spot. Players who sign a big-league contract during the brief window are to be added to the 40-man roster.
Drafting a player will cost $100,000 cash
A team will earn $50,000 in cash for each player lost in the draft.
